Stoke City took third in the Premier League Asia Trophy after defeating Singa All-Stars, 2-0.

Steve Sidwell put Stoke up for good just seven minutes in, when he was able to find the net from a Peter Crouch cross. The opponents did not come close to leveling things until nearly halftime, but Shay Given was cut a break as a 1-on-1 situation saw the shooter fire wide. Marko Arnautovic would then seal the victory in the 73rd minute for his first preseason tally. Sat, Jul 18, 2015 11:24:00 AM

Steve Sidwell has suffered a knee ligament injury that will force him out of action for approximately six weeks.

The central midfielder will be missing through the holiday period which will test Stoke City's depth. With Glenn Whelan also missing for the Manchester United match with a calf injury, it seems likely that Charlie Adam will get a start against the Red Devils. Mon, Dec 1, 2014 02:16:00 PM

Mark Hughes, the man who brought Steve Sidwell to Fulham, has signed him on a free transfer to bolster Stoke's central midfield.

Sidwell had his best scoring season in the Premier League in 2013-14 with seven goals but despite his efforts, Fulham were relegated. Moving to Stoke makes sense for the veteran midfielder as he will be going to a place that values the combination of physical and skilled play that he offers in addition to a manager who he knows. Whether he is a first choice starter remains to be seen as Stoke continue to transform from Tony Pulis' physicality-first philosophy to Mark Hughes blend of physicality and technical ability.

Yohan Cabaye was so good that Newcastle may need to sign two players to replace him with Steve Sidwell and Clement Grenier the names linked to the Magpies.

With Steve Sidwell out of contract at Fulham, the Magpies may jump on a proven Premier League player coming off his best season productivity-wise. While Sidwell isn't likely to be the creative force that Cabaye was for Newcastle. That hope would lie with a player like Grenier who could team with Sidwell to create a new central midfield for Newcastle. Grenier would be a stretch but Sidwell seems like a very achievable acquisition. Mon, May 26, 2014 10:08:00 AM
